DOVER — With a kick of their legs and a swing of their arms, Tom Dunnington and Mandy Barstow stole the show on Friday, becoming the winners of the third annual Dancing with the Dover Stars event.

Team Yellow wowed the crowd dancing to “In the Mood” by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with Dunnington in a Navy uniform and his professional dance partner, Barstow, dashing in polka dots.

The two competed with nine other teams in the show, put on to support the Dover Community Senior Center.

Krista Trefethen, the city's assistant recreation director, said the event will likely bring in the same amount of money it has the past two years, which is close to $9,000.

Recreation Director Gary Bannon said the money helps to fund the many programs the center puts on for its members.

“It is something Dover should be really proud of,” he said. “This helps us tremendously.”

Trefethen said she was not picking a favorite dance routine. She said all of the dancers are her favorite.

“They step it up every year,” she said.

Taking second place, was firefighter Craig Chabot, who tore the sleeves off his flannel to perform a country dance with Stacie Paradis, of Paradise Fitness.

Local surveyor Kevin McEneaney and his celebrity partner Angela Grassie, a professional ballet dancer, took third place. They began their show in a pretend jail cell, hopping out to dance to “Jailhouse Rock.”

Although they did not place, Justine Roberts, executive director of the Children's Museum of New Hampshire performed the Irish jig with River Dance professional John Grimes. Ryan Brown, St. Thomas Aquinas High School athletic director, sported a Bruins t-shirt as he tossed around his dance partner, Kasey Kelliher of Dance Innovations. Cathy Calandriello, special educator at Dover Middle School, danced as a zombie with Sarah Mosonyi. Beverly Hodson danced with Seacoast Rep's Knate Higgins, both bringing a fun and light spin on the stage, while grinning from ear to ear. Dana Mitchell, director of the Youth to Youth program and retired Dover police captain, had multiple outfit changes as the songs he danced to with Lindsey Hadley, of Joy of Dance, changed from one popular song to the next.

“It was a lot of fun and a lot of work,” the out of breath Mitchell said when his performance was over.

Mayor Dean Trefethen, one of the three judges of the night, said Mitchell appeared to be “amped up,” while City Councilor Karen Weston, another judge, said the police department should be proud of his moves.

The third judge was City Manager Michael Joyal, who had plenty of witty comments for the dancers. He told Roberts that if his feet moved as fast as hers did in her performance, he would be on the floor. He also told Pam Simpson, of Harvey's Bakery, who danced with Dan Demers of Dania Dance, that he expects her to do the final moves she did in her performance when he comes in to the restaurant.

Weston told Mary Ulinski and John Clark that their ballroom dance to Whitney Houston's “I Will Always Love You” was beautiful.

No performance received less than a seven from the judges, who's votes were 50-percent of the total determination of the winner. The other 50-percent came from the audience, who cheered for their favorites throughout the night in Dover High's auditorium.
